WINDOW-AWNING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 604,087, dated May 17,1898.

Application filed February 23, 1897. Serial No. 624,711. (No model.) A

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JAMES F. SARGENT, of

Saugus, in the county of Essex and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, haveinvented certain Improvements in VVindow-Awnings, of which thefollowing, read in connection with the accompanying drawings,is aspecification.

It is the object of this invention to provide a portable window-awningand connections which permit of the awning being applied to and detachedfrom a window without the presence or aid of persons specially skilledin that work and that may be so quickly and easily applied in positionor removed as to render it practicable to remove the awning at times ofstorm or lowery weather or when for any purpose the entirewindow-opening is desired for purposes of better lighting the interior,and, further, to provide a canopy or hood which may be freely applied toand re moved from the supporting-frame by persons not specially skilledin that work, and which is complete in itself, requiringno specialfitting or aftermaking.

This present invention consists, mainly, in features of constructionwhereby it is more economical to produce an awning of said characterthan heretofore.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents the frame part of this myinvention. Fig. 2 shows it applied to a window-casing. Fig. 3 shows itwith the canopy or hood applied thereto, and Fig. 4: is a section online 4 of Fig. 3.

In carrying out thisinvention I employ'a' frame composed of a supportingpart adapted for attachment to the window-casing and a swinging partshown as having a pivoted or jointed connection with the supportingpart, whereby to permit swinging movement from the upward positionrequired for lifting or folding the awning to the horizontal positionrequired for lowering or opening the awning. As shown, this frame iscomposed of wire material. Said supporting part has an end piece &,andarm-pieces 5, projecting at substantially right angles therefrom. Saidarm-pieces are turned backwardly upon themselves, whereby twist-loops 6are formed at or near the terminal ends thereof, having eye-openingstherethrough, and, projecting onwardly right angles therefrom. Said armshave their terminal ends turned backwardly, whereby are formed the hooks9, adapted for engagement with the twist-loops 6 of arms 5. Thisarrangement gives the required support for the swinging frame andpermits the movement required thereof in passing from the elevatedposition to the horizontal position. (Shown in dotted lines, Fig. 1.)

Connected with the window-frame at the top are hooks 10, into which isset the end piece 4 of said supporting part, and the arm-pieces thereofare supported at their terminal ends by staples 8, which to that endpass through the eye-openings in said arm-pieces and receive pins 12,whereby the arm-pieces are prevented from escaping off said staples, asshown. The hooks 1O bend inwardly, their supporting ends being therebylocated within the chamber of the window-casing, all this to the endthat the awning shall permit folding within the casing and thereby giveway for closing of the window-blinds.

It will now be understood that to remove the awning one has only towithdraw the pins 12, whereupon the arm pieces 5 may be slipped fromtheir supporting-staples and the awning lifted from out the hooks 10.Reversing these operations operates to apply the awning in position tothe window-frame.

In further carrying out my invention I make the canopy or hood of therequired size and shaped in the usual and customary manner and providecasings or runs to receivethe frame parts. To this end the edges of thehood material at one end thereof are overlapped and stitched for makingthe casing or run to receive the supporting part, while separate piecesof material 14:, Fig. 4:, are stitched to the awning proper, wherebyway, or casing,

is made for receiving the swinging part, as

shown in Fig. 4. This arrangement allows of the awning-cover being madecomplete, and it permits the cover being stripped from the frame partsand a new one applied thereto as desired. The removal and applicationare most conveniently effected with the parts folded closely together,substantially as in Fig. 1.

What I claim as of my invention, and desire by Letters Patent to secure,is

An awning appliance with a frame composed of bent Wire material,including a supporting part composed of the end piece, 4, and side arms,5, said arms having twist-loops, 6, formed therein, approximately nearthe terminal ends thereof, the ends being overturned with eye-openings,X, and a swinging part having a corresponding end piece, and
